PREFACE TO PART III 



The method of dealing with consecutive treatment in Volume II. met 

 with such general approval that I have been led in the present volume 

 to handle this branch of work at still greater length, in the hope that it 

 will make the work more useful to the Practitioner and Final Year's 

 Student. This has slightly increased the size of the volume ; for it has 

 been done without in any way curtailing the anatomical descriptions of 

 the parts, in order that this Part may be of no less service than the second 

 volume to the student of Anatomy. With this exception the lines of 

 Part II. have been closely followed. 



To my friend and former colleague, Professor Macqueen, who once 

 again undertook the task of revising the proofs as they were passed for 

 the press, I am indebted for many valuable suggestions. On the wide 

 experience and sound judgment of my colleague, Mr. Henry Sumner, 

 M.R.C.V.S., I have freely drawn ; nor have I ever sought for information 

 concerning the practical points of the work which has not been most 

 generously given. To both alike I would express my sincere gratitude ; 

 for whatever merit might be attached to the work it will in great

 expressed to the kindness of Mr. Hunting and the publishers of the
